is so soothing. I've got peppermint tea with soy, my knitting project, pajamas and the window open to hear the beautiful sound of RAIN - that's right.. it is really raining in Southern California.
I absolutely LOVE rain, storms, thunder/lighting, etc. I can't get enough of it.
The Media makes sprinkling drops a huge deal. Ok, I'll give them the fact that areas nearby are in serious flood danger because of the serious fires but stories like, "People are scattering in the sudden rain." as they show a man walking slowly down the street with an umbrella that is unopened down his side - not scattering to me! Geeze, we need rain, it's not intense so calm down.
Anyway,
Even though I think it's a little too early to decorate all outside your house with Christmas lights, I am pretty ready to celebrate with festivities:
Do you have traditions? What are your favorite? I have plenty and I love partaking in them to the fullest..
One being ginger bread houses.. fun, crafty, and tasty.
